People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 208 The Rise of the Emperor (Seventh Update! 5980 Monthly Tickets Added! Please Vote!)

During these three days, Li Qi did not explore the map. On the one hand, he learned that this world was vast and that Huangji was the largest gathering place in the vicinity. On the other hand, he gained insight into the truth, which revealed that the Great Demon was already the strongest in this era, and that martial arts had been lost in this era.

As for the reason, it is related to the Evil Moon Divine Court. After the nuclear war, this force seems to be intentionally destroying any trace of martial arts and eliminating any surviving masters...

This whole behavior is strange and definitely has a big problem.

It seems that the other side's goal is not to rule the world, but to destroy civilization.

But what's the point of all this?!
Li Qi didn't believe that such a powerful group of people were just simple lunatics. There was only one possibility that they would go to such lengths: there was something to gain from it.

As for where the benefits lie, it might very well be a mission from something far more terrifying...

Therefore, for three days, Li Qi simply stayed in the desolate town, sorting out his own cultivation while also exploring the various mysteries of Qi.

Once he returns, he won't have such a high martial arts level cap to support him anymore. At the same time, his mental strength, spiritual strength, and even wisdom will be greatly reduced without the added bonus of a Grandmaster.

However, while he focused his main efforts on comprehending martial arts, Li Qi also took the opportunity to make several more refined adjustments to the order of the desolate settlement.

The entire wasteland now has only a little over three thousand people, and they are all of low intelligence and weak physical strength. It is impossible to build an order based on the management model of the modern world. Therefore, Li Qi adopts absolute centralization, simply putting the right people in the right places.

With his current understanding of human nature, as long as he is willing to put in the effort, arranging a mere few thousand people is as easy as arranging NPCs in a game with God mode enabled.

At the same time, because the worship of gods here was deeply ingrained, Li Qi did not abolish it directly. Instead, he renamed the desolate town Qi City, where the gods were also kings, and divine and royal power were combined. Some of his slightly smarter subordinates thought that Qi was Li Qi's name, but they actually called him Emperor Qi, or Divine Qi...

As for Little Grey, he was revered as a saint and was the successor of God and the King.

Of course, a mere few thousand people, not even as many as some villages in reality, in this post-apocalyptic wasteland, inexplicably carried a sense of sacredness.

Li Qi naturally didn't care about the so-called support of several thousand people here. What he did was simply out of a kind and benevolent thought.

He is a very easygoing person; once a thought arises, he does it.

Besides establishing order, Li Qi also left behind some scientific knowledge, mostly basic and not profound. However, Li Qi suspected that if the flame of civilization were ignited in this wasteland, it might lead to disaster, so he did not leave much behind.

In addition, he also left behind a basic martial arts method that is easy to learn. It is not about refining essence into qi, but about storing the excess nutrients that are naturally dispersed, making people more endurance and more resistant to hunger.

However, when Li Qi was cleansing Xiao Hui's bones and marrow with innate primordial energy, he discovered that Xiao Hui's physique was very compatible with the Qian Yuan Dao Jing. He even taught Xiao Hui the Qian Yuan Dao Jing and his own swordsmanship.

Little Gray actually displayed an incredibly strong talent, even surpassing Wang Yan's.

It is known that Wang Yan spent several years to even begin to understand the Qian Yuan Dao Jing, and it was only after a tremendous shock that he finally grasped its essence. However, Xiao Hui comprehended some of it simply by having Li Qi cleanse his marrow with his vital energy. Later, as Li Qi transmitted his skills to him, he directly comprehended it, and with Li Qi's innate energy, his martial arts started at the innate level.

Although it's just qi transforming into innate form, not the innate realm, it's still extraordinary enough; he's practically the perfect protagonist template.

This phenomenon led Li Qi to suspect that Zhao Gouzi's appearance in the Heroes Dungeon was closely related to Xiao Hui.

However, the protagonist's halo in the world of heroes seems to have long since expired, which led to Wang Yan's sudden death and Xiao Hui's death in the sand in the original history.

...In reality, Li Qi opened his eyes.

He used the Miracle Shard in the dungeon, but now that he's returned, he hasn't returned to the dungeon, but to reality.

On the panel, the projection section clearly displayed the words "Instance locked, accessible".

"As expected, the real world is the most important anchor point, so after returning, I returned to reality first..."

Such a thought came to Li Qi's mind, and then he looked at the panel log.

Log: You accomplished a miracle. Your past self, through a powerful will, pierced through time and space, receiving a response from your future self. Relying on the power of the future, you rewrote the past...

Log: The past has been rewritten; the you of the past has been given a continuation in life, and the scroll of your life has been rewritten...

Log: All that you have changed is not enough to break the anchor of the Great Ruins, so the Heroes Dungeon remains unchanged.

Log: You have fulfilled your greatest wish from the past, earning 1 Exclusive Life Point, which can be used to increase the number of times your Exclusive Life Scroll can be used by 1...

……

However, at this moment, Li Qi only glanced at the changed life scroll and did not use the special points to experience it, because his Qian Yuan Heart Method and the Nine Transformations of the Cicada Heart Reincarnation True Self Dao Scripture were undergoing qualitative changes.

The former involves minor success, extracting specific qualities, while the latter involves a complete transformation of one's spiritual world, even a comprehensive transformation of the mind, will, and wisdom, and also contains profound mysteries.

Therefore, Li Qi naturally chose to extract the characteristics of the Qian Yuan Heart Method first, because the latter's transformation is comprehensive, and the transformation of Qian Yuan first can bring greater benefits.

With Li Qi's decision, the transformation process that Li Qi had suppressed was completed in an instant.

In an instant, the Qian Yuan Heart Method on Li Qi's panel jumped directly from LV3 (298/300) to LV5 (132/500), skipping the fourth level. At the same time, the panel also refreshed.

Log: Your Qian Yuan Heart Sutra has reached the minor completion stage. Trait extraction in progress. Trait to be extracted: Heart with Radiant Light
Diary: A Glimmer of Light in the Heart: A glimmer of light in the heart dispels darkness, and from now on, one will no longer be misled by magic...

Log: Detected that you have used the illusion to cultivate the true, and comprehended subtle higher-dimensional mysteries (Note: Crystal Body, Everlasting Life, Immortal Deity)...

Logs: The rules are different, but the height is the same...

Log: Judging...

Log: Determined to include high-dimensional elements, re-extracting...

Log: A brand new trait pool has been created, and re-drawing is underway...

Log: Extracted Trait: My Heart is Bright
Diary: My Heart is Bright: The light in my heart is boundless, illuminating mountains and rivers for thousands of miles. This heart, this heart, is no ordinary heart, but the foundation for ascending to heaven on the Great Way...

boom!
As the log was refreshed, in an instant, Li Qi's mental world was like the creation of the world, a massive explosion, radiating infinite light. All the darkness and chaos vanished in an instant, replaced by boundless light and harmony.
